Ta có: A = 3 + 3 2 + 3 3 + . . . + 3 100
=> 3 A = 3 2 + 3 3 + 3 4 + . . . + 3 101
=> 3 A - A = ( 3 2 + 3 3 + 3 4 + . . . + 3 101 ) - ( 3 + 3 2 + 3 3 + . . . + 3 100 )
=> 2 A = 3 2 + 3 3 + 3 4 + . . . + 3 101 - 3 - 3 2 - 3 3 - . . . - 3 100
2 A = 3 101 - 3 <=> 2 A + 3 = 3 101 , mà 2 A + 3 = 3 n
=> n = 101
